Path coefficient Analysis for Seed Yield and Yield Components in Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.)

Abstract

Abstract Four genotypes of faba bean (Vicia faba L.). namely: Hudeiba 72, Basabeer. Hudeiba 93 and Selaim lmproved were planted for two successive seasons 2002/03 and 2003/04 at the Demonstration Farm of the College of Agricultural Studies, Sudan University for Science and Technology. The trial was conducted to study the Path Coefficient Analysis for Seed yield and yield Components in faba bean. Statistical analysis was based on the combined data of the two seasons. The path coefiieient analysis was used to detemaine the direct and indirect effects of the yield components: number of pods per plant. number of seeds per pod and 100 seeds weight on seed yield
